Introducing new foods



Recommended Posts

I was needing to know when I can start eating salads again? And was wondering if anyone has a problem with popcorn? I was sleeved on January 31- so I'm still pretty new at adding new foods in.. Thanks

My doctor allowed salads at 4 months. It wasn't until 6 months that I really enjoyed them.

popcorn is something i would wait on. The hard bits can catch in the seam of your sleeve. 4 months....but beware, popcorn is a slider food. You can eat a lot of it and it's easy calories.

I didn't start eating salads until just recently (and only a bite or two). @ 9 mos out.

Oh I see how that would be a problem so I will stay away from the popcorn.. Now I have to find something in place of that for when I go to the movies.. And thanks for the advice on the salads too!! ????

Pickles at the movies! Either bring n your own or buy one at the snack bar if your theatre carries them.

yes, they do have a lot of sodium, but really, how many pickles can a sleever eat? Not that much....

Sounds like a joke...how many sleevers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Only one, but you have to wait 30 minutes before and after turns ...yuck yuck :P

i just went to the movies yesterday and I just took a Quest bar with me and enjoyed that. I do miss popcorn, but have not even attempted it. I am afraid at how easy it will be to eat a lot of it!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
